“Go Topless” Fishing Charters
“Go Topless” Fishing Charters
Captain Matt has been fishing down in Mississippi his whole life. He recently just got out of the U.S. Coast Guard after serving 4 years on 2 different cutters. He obtained his captain's license when he was 19 years old and recently upgraded it to a Masters 100 ton. His boat is a good solid boat. It is 25 feet long with a brand new 300 HP Yamaha pushing it. There are a few different kinds of trips you can go on and here they all are:
Shark trips: These trips involve anchoring and chumming (putting blood and guts in the water to lure them in). You'll be fishing with either live or cut bait.
Island light tackle: This trip involves fishing with light tackle at the islands for Speckled Trout, Redfish, and other hard-fighting and good eating gamefish. This trip differs from the inland trip because we travel further offshore and use techniques that yield a higher catch percentage for certain species.
Red Snapper trips: These trips involve fishing at the offshore wrecks and reefs for Red Snapper. While fishing offshore, you will probably see dolphins, and sea turtles and have various bycatches such as sharks, Cobia, etc.
Inshore trips: These involve staying around the shore and visiting the reefs that attract White Trout, Ground Mullet, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Redfish, and Speckled Trout.
Provided for your trip are: the boat, fuel, all the necessary tackle, bait, ice, and fishing licenses. There is no extra charge for fish cleaning!
What you should bring: sunscreen, whatever you want to eat and drink, towels, sunglasses, and a camera. No glass, please.

6hr Nearshore Fishing Trip on March 27, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Matt delivered exactly what we asked. Great table fare for a family of four and something memorable. He knew where to go to provide it all. This review could go on forever. His personality and hospitality was second to none. We would absolutely recommend Go Topless Charters to anyone. Also as a thirty year boat mechanic his equipment was spot on for a safe trip.
Frank BrandonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGo topless
4hr inshore trip AM on April 19, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childIt was a great fishing trip we had to find the fish and captain Matt got to work on finding them and once we did the bite was on. I strongly recommend go topless charters above all others. Again we had a blast especially "CHUNK CHUNK"
Collin Todd5.0VerifiedHad an amazing time with Captin Matt

4 Hour Trip – Inland Fishing on June 11, 2024 • 4 adultsIn Biloxi for work and had a few days off. Decided on a fishing charter and went with Topless. Capt. Matt got us on some fish after a slow start. Decent catch to take back and grill. Fun dad had on the water. Good boat, good gear! Recommend .
Craig Jackson5.0VerifiedHalf day with. Captain Matt
4 Hour Trip – Inland Fishing on May 22, 2023 • 4 adultsCaptain Matt asked us several questions up front to make sure he knew exactly what we were looking for with our trip. He was fantastic with the kids. Each child caught the biggest fish they have ever caught. We fished several different spots and if the fish weren’t biting we moved. One of the best trips we have been on. So good in fact that we booked another trip for later this week.
Jason Vickers5.0VerifiedMatt is Great!!

4hr trip afternoon inland fishing on April 14, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childMy 6 year old son and I had a great time fishing today! He was able to catch his first flounder and redfish. We highly recommend and will be back this summer to shark fish!

4 Hour Trip – Inland Fishing on September 15, 2023 • 2 adultsSpecs, Spanish mackerel, triple tail, mangrove snapper, shark- Captain Matt worked hard to make sure my wife’s first trip was more than memorable. He ensured a variety of fish and was as enthusiastic and excited as we were when a fish was on. Great for first time fishing and experienced anglers both.
Thomas Bates5.0VerifiedHalf Day inshore trip with Captain Matt
4 Hour Trip – Inland Fishing on August 12, 2023 • 3 adults • 1 child5 stars really doesn’t give Captain Matt enough credit I give it a 10. The patience he showed with my son and I was top class. We ended up catching 6 different species of fish and a ton of keepers. We can’t wait until our next trip! The fish taco recipe he recommended was great too!
Sean Leblanc5.0VerifiedI think we saw every snapper in the Gulf.
All Day Trip – 8+ Hours on June 4, 2021 • 4 adultsMe and some friends booked this for the anniversary of an event we celebrate every year. Luckily Matt called and told us that if we waited a few days, red snapper season would open, and I'm glad he told us and glad we rescheduled. If we had kept every snapper we caught we'd have limited out in about ten minutes. Luckily we just kept the big ones and wound up with more meat than I think I could eat. My buddy even pulled up a 20 pounder and later a shark. Matt and Tom were great company, incredibly knowledgeable, worked their ***es off to make sure we had a good time, and I'd ride with them every day if I could. It's also my understanding that Tom freelances across a few boats. If you hop on another and he's deckhanding you're sure to have a good time.

My husband got sick not the captains fault we were only on the boat about 2 hours.... one fish was caught but to small to keep... so for a bucket list item the trip was disappointing not worth the money we paid.... captain was nice
Ever since yall booked me in March for todays trip I was looking forward to meeting and showing yall a great time on my boat. After multiple discussions about the possibility of a bad fish bite due to the recent storm we decided to go today. Yes, we had a very challenging bite today. I had a feeling it would be so I brought light tackle, heavy gear, and trolling gear to be able to throw every option out there to find yall some fish. Unfortunately, sea sickness struck Dwayne. If anyone has ever experienced sea sickness, they know it is absolutely miserable. I hated seeing him struggling and I could tell he was willing and trying to tough through it. After 2 hours into our 4 hour trip the decision was made to come in and call our trip short. I completely understand the choice to leave and head in, that being said I had other options and strategies in mind to try in case we weren't able to find fish at the current place we were fishing. As far as the cost of the trip goes, in the past I have given discounts for trips cut early due to weather, family emergencies, and other extenuating circumstances out of my control. When it comes to sea sickness in the right situation I could offer a discount. For this specific trip I could not reasonably warrant a discount for the trip due to having another trip in the afternoon that I had to cancel due to weather that I could have ran this morning in place of your trip. I completely understand that you did not receive the experience that your group wanted. That doesn't sit right with me, I want everyone to enjoy themselves onboard my boat. If you want to give me another shot in the future, I will be very grateful.
This is by far the best fishing charter I’ve ever booked! Matt owns and crews the “Go Topless” boat himself and provides a family friendly atmosphere and is open an honest when it comes to the trip you want. If the bite isn’t there he will tell you and give you recommendations to get you your moneys worth! I highly recommend him! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be back to book another shark trip or in-shore trip!
We had a great time fishing with Captain Matt! Not only did he call and check in with us several times, days before our trip, he wanted to make sure we had a great time while we were out in the boat! We caught some fish and enjoyed our time! Very laid-back and easy to get along with! Very curious, even shared his coat with our girl when she got chilly! We had a great time, and we’ll go fishing with Captain Matt again if we make it back this way!
